Important

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and then

turn the unit off before removing the pan.

• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having

flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface

heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of

clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will

also improve efficiency.

Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend

over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to uninten-

tional contact with the utensil.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat

settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accumula-

tions that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the

sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan

On.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening an Oven Door--Stand to the side of

the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air

or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The wall oven is

vented at the upper control panel or at the center trim

depending of the model. Touching the surfaces in this area

when the wall oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also,

do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items near the oven vent.

These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils from

the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while

oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp

the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders

contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan

and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the

high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with

aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth.

Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the

appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before

removing and replacing the bulb.

• Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this

manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or fire.

Safety Instructions

SELF-CLEANING OVEN MODELS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the

appliance listed in this Use & Care Guide. Before using the self-

cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove the broiler pan and any

utensils stored in the appliance.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket isessential

for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move

the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven

liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around

any part of the appliance

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle

of any wall oven, Move birds to another well ventilated

room.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR OVEN

Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods

and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease

to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.

Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/Aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's

recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess

residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing

damage and/or injury.

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOPS

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate

the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact

a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean cooktop glass with caution--If a wet sponge or cloth

is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid

a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

Before Setting Surface Controls

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the

surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the

area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of

the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop

(See Figure 1).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the

cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and

size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their

settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will

spread to areas beyond the surface elements.

The areas surrounding the elements may become hot

enough to cause burns.

Figure 1

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain

the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform

and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before

cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different ......... .............. ................ .....

wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger .....

volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:

- two 6 inch single radiant elements located at the right and left

rear positions;

- one 9 / 12 inch Double element located at the right front

positions;

- one 9" single Turbo boil radiant element located at the left front

position;

- a Warmer Zone located at the center rear position.

Note: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section

and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care

Guide.

Note: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to

cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent

damage to the ceramic glass cooktop. Cycling at the Hi setting

is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the

radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to

page 12 for correct cookware instructions).

Figure 2

Note: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will

turn to a pale green when the element is first turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its

original white color after it has completely cooled down.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may

still be hot and burns may occur ifthe glass surface istouched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire

if placed too close to the surface elements.

Before Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)

To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature _COOKTOP

The clock (_ pad is used to activate the Cooktop Lockout feature which will lock all surface elements from being accidentally

turned ON. This feature will only lock the cooktop.

iNSTRUCTiONS

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature ON:

1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.

2. Press and hold _(_ until "CLO" (clock) appears (Figure 1). Continue

holding until a second beep sounds (after 3 seconds). If a triple beep

sounds instead, check all surface elements and turn them to the OFF

position and repeat this step. I_1will appear in the display indicating the

cooktop controls and functions are locked out until the cooktop is

unlocked (See Figure 2).

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature OFF:

1. Press and hold (_ until "CLO" appears (Figure 3). Continue

holding

until a second beep sounds (after 3 seconds). I_1will disappear from

the display indicating the cooktop may be used normally (Figure 4).

Note: Starting a Self-Clean cycle will automatically turn ON the Cooktop

Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain locked until the Self-Clean cycle

has completed and the oven door has unlocked. If a power failure occurs

after the Cooktop Lockout has been activated, you must turn OFF the

Cooktop Lockout feature before being able to use the cooktop features

again.

How the Electronic Surface Element Controls work when the Sabbath feature is ON.

When your Oven Sabbath feature is ON, the Electronic Surface Elements are also in Sabbath mode. This means that

all electronic surface element control displays show "Sb". The surface elements can be used even if the Sabbath

Feature is on.

To turn ON a Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Feature is active:

With the Sabbath feature active, a surface element will not start heating until 15-30 seconds after you turn it on. The

heat setting you have turned to will not appear in the display because -Sb,, is showing there. Any adjustment to the

heat setting will also take 15 -30 seconds to go into effect.

To turn OFF the Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Mode is active:

To shut off the surface element while the Sabbath feature is ON, press the ON/OFF button for that element. The

element will immediately turn off without delay.

Note: Refer to the Sabbath Feature section.

Setting Surface Controls

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) feature provides a digital

display of the radiant surface elements on the cooktop. The ESEC display in

combination with the touch pads is designed to replace conventional control

knobs.

The available ESEC Window Display Settings

The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo

(Figure 6) and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between 9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0

(Figure 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between

3.0 (Figures 3 & 4) and 1.2 (Figure 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or

increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 6; lowest Simmer setting) for

more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use the Recommended Surface

Setting Chart to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are

preparing.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

When using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very

hot. The hot surface indicator light will turn ON when the element is hot enough

to cause burns, and will remain ON until the cooktop has cooled enough to be

safe to touch. Note: The hot surface message can turn ON when the upper

oven is in self-clean mode.

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle or when the

Cooktop Lockout feature is active. Whenever the Cooktop Lockout feature is

active, " - - " will appear in all display windows (See Figure 8).

ESEC PF message

The ESEC will display briefly the PF message (Figure g) whenever there has

been a power interruption to the appliance. The PF message will disappear by

itself after a few seconds.

Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone

The Warm & Ready TM zone radiant element is located at the center rear position

(Figure 1). The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables,

gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer

Zone.

The Warmer Zone will not glow red when itis hot, but becomes hot enough

to cause burns. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer zone as

cookware and plates will be hot.

All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain

quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should

have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap or

aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the

surface.

Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended by the item

manufacturer for oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.

Warmer Zone Temperature Selection

Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels. If a

particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as

needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the

medium level.

Surface Cooking

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware Correct

h3corl_ect

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make

good contact with the entire surface heating

element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure

1). Be sure to follow the recommendations for

using cookware as shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size

and type of

cookware used

will influence the

setting needed

for best cooking

results.

Figure 1

Cookware Material types

o Curved and warped pan

bottoms.

• Flat bottom and straight

sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

o Weight of handle does not

tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced.

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared and the size of

the surface element.

• Made of a material that

conducts heat well.

® Easy to clean.

• Always match pot diameter

to element surface

diameter.

÷1 I_

• Pan overhangs element by

more than one=half inch.

÷1 I_

• Pan is smaller than

element.

e Heavy handle tilts pan.

Figure 2

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan

bottom. The most popular materials available are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware

resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which

will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST iRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAIN=ENAMEL or= METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel

coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Before Setting the Oven Controls

Air Circulation in the Oven

If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger

cookware as shown.

1 Oven Rack

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the

cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not

touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot

air must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat

to reach around the food.

Multiple Oven Racks

Before Setting the Oven Controls

The lower oven is equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self=cleaning mode to

al components at a cool temperature. The blower may keep running even if the oven has

been turned off, until the components have cooled down.

Upper Oven Vent Oven Vent Location

See illustrationon leftside for venting location of each oven. When the oven

is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for

proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.

Removing & Replacing

Lower Oven Racks

To remove an oven rack from the lower

oven, pull the rack forward until itstops. Lift

up front of rack and slide out.

To replace an oven rack in the lower

oven, fit the rack onto the guides on the

oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward

and slide the rack back into place.

ac_

The Offset Oven Rack is used to maximize cooking space. The offset rack

can be used in the lowest rack position to roast large cuts of meat and

poultry or for specific type of cooking as per the table below.

Installing Oven Rack Supports in Upper Oven

To install oven rack

support, insert it into the

two brackets on the oven

wall interiorand push down

as shown inthe illustration

to the right.

To remove the oven rack

support for a self-clean

cycle, pull up the support to disengage it from the brackets.

Arranging Oven Racks & Supports

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO

OPERATING THE OVEN).
